AI Education for Women & Youth
Building AI Education Hubs that offer real opportunity across emerging regions in Africa, Asia and the Pacific.
Why Here
Why Now?
Bridging the Digital Divide
2.6 billion people remain offline, most in the Global South.
Internet access sits near 36% in Sub-Saharan Africa and above 90% in Europe and North America. Without intervention, this digital divide will deepen inequality in education, work, and innovation.
Our Response
We are buildingAI Education Hubs that deliver training, devices, digital tools, connectivity solutions, and portfolio-ready projects inside local schools, studios, and community spaces of underserved communities. Skills move with people even when infrastructure lags.
A Generation
Rising
Empowering Tomorrow’s Leaders
By 2050, Africa will account for one in three people under 25. Asia already counts more than 750 million youth. This generation can shape the next economy when guided with modern tools and real pathways.
Our Response
Hands-on AI literacy, project studios, and creator academies that turn curiosity into employable work. Youth learn to use AI, build with it, and ship outcomes that matter at home.

Closing the Gender Gap
in STEM
Social and cultural barriers continue to limit girls’
participation in digital education
Women represent about 28% of the science and engineering workforce globally. In Sub-Saharan Africa, women are roughly 30% of STEM graduates and far fewer reach technical leadership. Barriers begin early and compound over time.
Our Response
SHE IS AI changes this by creating inclusive spaces where women and girls access AI education, mentorship, and leadership pathways that connect learning to income and influence. Rooms feel safe. Portfolios carry clear credit. Careers move.

Why AI Education Now?
AI education is critical in emerging markets and is projected to add $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030. Without inclusive education, emerging markets risk being left as consumers rather than creators of this technology.

For the Global South, AI offers a leapfrog opportunity to build new industries, transform agriculture, health, and education, and address urgent challenges such as climate change. But this can only happen if local innovators are equipped with the skills and ethical frameworks to shape AI that reflects their values and communities.
Investing in AI education across the Global South builds a future that is fairer, more innovative and sustainable for everyone
